~Tropicana Field~
~June 12, 2015 White Sox at Rays~
Fortunately the game was played in a dome, as it was
raining HARD with thunder and lightening.
"You are here"... we came in right behind home plate... |
First siting of the field |
Not many here, yet... but it is still early. | You can pet the rays in centerfield.... the tank is
operated with help from a local aquarium. I was going to get in
line, but then I visited the hitters museum.... |

|
There is a color coded chart
so you can play Take me Out to the Ball Game on the xylophone. |
Something just seemed 'fishy' with this Dolphin in a
Rays jersey. :-) |
I had read about the hitters museum - thought I'd check it out for a few minutes... ended up spending about 40 minutes and wanted to spend more! | On the bridge over to the museum, you can see the
sculpture of the catch. |
Ted Williams (who founded the museum, and it is his namesake) and Babe Ruth. | The Detroit 'locker'. A picture of Ty Cobb
going in with spikes high. |
The Dale Murphy 'locker' | The banner for the museum on the bridge. The
museum was amazing....The few pictures I took didn't do it justice.
An amazing collection for a baseball park. |
Ok, back to the field - the game is about to start, and we need to find our seats... But first, the mascot "Raymond" is warming up with the players. | Lineups. |
Jim Hickey - the Rays pitching coach. One of the best. | Game time.... |
Evan Longoria | Pepsi Race. |
Rays Win tonight! |
